Richard returns to this year's competition with Honey Bee Redux, a pleasant little arcade game where you have to fly around each screen visiting flowers and taking the pollen back to your hive. It's not immediately clear what you can and cannot collide with, so there's some (unintended) challenge here, but in all Honey Bee is an unashamedly retro, solid little game.

---

The idea of this game is to guide Honey Bee through 16 different stages, picking up pollen from flowers and then drop them (at any height) into the honey well. If he picks up pollen from a flower. 10 points will be given. However he won't be able to pick any more pollen until the honey, which he is carrying gets dropped into the honey well. If he drops the honey into the well, 50 points will be scored. Should he drop the honey elsewhere, then he'll have to start the whole level again. Should all flowers hove no pollen left, and Honey Bee drops the honey into the well.  A bonus set of points will be added to your score accoring to the amount of time that remains. If the bonus counter reaches 0000, you'll simply get no bonus points. 

Honey Bee has a clumsy nature, and has to watch where he is going. Should he bump into a wall, rock, falling water, nettles, or moving nature creatures, he'll get hurt and fly away. Should he fly away, a life will be lost. This game is not just about picking up plants and avoiding enemies, but it requires precise timing and planning. A sort of a puzzle game one way or another.
